Malay here is not merely a means of communication but it is much more than that. It cannot be separated from the Malay community in Patani. Patani has a long and challenging history, but the Malay language remains an important issue. Although Patani is not a Malay region in the archipelago but the Patani community maintains their identity as Malay speakers. Pesantrens and colleges in Patani play an important role in preserving the Malay language. Various Thai government policies has been directly or indirectly trying to remove and undermine the Malay language from Thailand since Patani became a part of it with various political policies of Siamization, but fortunately the efforts were not exactly successful. This is proven by the fact that Malay language is still actively spoken by the Patani community and has become a compulsory language throughout the pesantrens up until today. Since the ongoing security crisis, the government has begun to see the importance of Malay language for the Patani community by including the Malay curriculum in public primary and secondary schools. Keywords: Malay language, Malay community, Patani, challenges. 1. Introduction The Malay nation is a minority nation in Thailand where the majority is Siamese who speak Thai. The Malays become the majority population in the minority; they become the majority in five regions of Southern Thailand but they become the minority in other places, especially those who live in Bangkok and the north-south regions. According to Paitoon (2005, p. 53), about 75 percent of the population in the five southern regions of Thailand are Muslims, speak Malay and obey the Malay customs as the people of northern Malaysia. Patani has a long history and struggle that even after being a part of Thailand for over 103 years, Patani people still maintain Malay language up until now. 9 Phaosan Jehwae, Susy Deliani & Yahaya Niwae In recent years, there have been concerns among Malay religious leaders, scholars and teachers in Thailand of the extinction of the Malay language in every Malay education and identity sector in Thailand. The strong influence of Thai language on Patani Malay language and some of the authority’s policies aiming at abolishing it, are among many factors that lead to the diminishing of the Malay language. Ahmad Fathi (2001, p. 209) in discussing the deterioration of the Malay language in Patani states that the sectors that are dominated by Malay Language lately are only in daily interaction, sermons, and religious teaching at mosques or madrasah. Malay language is no longer used in official affairs, mass media, village signboards and government institutions. The Malays in Thailand are very different from the majority of Thai, they are Muslim and speak Malay while Thai people are Buddhist and speak Thai. This paper will show the role of Malay language, the role of pesantren and universities as well as the challenges in the globalization era. 2. The Condition of Malay Language in Thailand Malay Language has been used in the archipelago since centuries ago and became official language in several countries in the archipelago. Malay has become the official language of Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. In addition, it also became the communicative language in several parts of Southeast Asia such as Patani, Moro, Philippines and Timor Leste. Prior to 1909 AD, Malay became the official language of Patani Sultanate and held a very important role. After Patani was colonized by Siam/Thailand, Malay was used as a communicative language among the Malay community and became intermediate language in religious and Malay subjects in pesantren. Malay generally became a minority language in Thailand because there was only a few places that still use Malay Language in daily conversation, for instances Ayuthya, Minburi, Tha’it, Klongneng, Tambon Bangpo and Kloungluang Pathomthani (Hasan, 1992, p. 637). Whereas in Southern Thailand, especially in the five border areas of Thailand, Malay became the majority language (Worawit, 2002, p. 28). Amorn Thawisak (1987, p. 76) states that the Malay-spoken area in Thailand came from central to southern Thailand and also at the Malaysian border. The Malay Language users are located in several areas in Thailand as follows. 1. Area of Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat. Malay became a majority language in these areas. 2. Area of Songkhla. Malay is used in Thepha, Sabayoi, Nathewi, Chena, Sadau and Ranood. 3. Area of Satun. Malay is used in Bandar Satun, Bankuan, Cekbilang, Tamalang, Koh Adang and Koh Sarai. 4. Area of Nakhon Si Thammarat, Malay is used in Muang, Thasala, Hua Thaphan, Mokhlan and Ron Phiboon. 5. Area of Krabi, Malay is used in Muang, Koh Ca, Koh Poo and Koh Pipi, Koh Lanta, Koh Lanta Yai, Khau Phanom, Nakhau, Aulek in Ban Klang and Ban Chong Mai Dam in Klang Hin. 6. Area of Phuket, there are Malay Language users found in Muang, Lam Tuk Kae, Koh Sire, Ban Sapha and Had Ra Wai. 7. Area of Phatlung, there are Malay Language users found in Kong Ra, Chelem, Jarad. 8. Area of Trang, there are Malay Language users found in Kan Tang di Kantang Tai and Koh Li Bung 9. Area of Suratthani, there are Malay Language users found in Koh Marid and Samui. While in the central Thailand, there are Malay Language users found in the Nong Chok district of the capital city of Bangkok, Samut Prakan, Nonthaburi and Pathum thani provinces. Malay speakers in Thailand have different dialects. There are three dialects, 10 Proceedings of the 28th International Conference on Literature: “Literature as a Source of Wisdom”, July 11-13, 2019, Universitas Syiah Kuala, Banda Aceh, Indonesia ISBN: 978-623-7086-21-5 namely Urak Lawoi dialect, Patani dialect and Satun dialect. The Lawoi Urdu language found on the island and the beach on the west, south of Thailand ranging from Pang Nga, Ranong, Krabi, Satun and Victoria Point Burma (Hasnida Chekha, 2008, p. 48). Patani language is used in four areas of southern Thailand, namely Pattani, Yala, Narathiwat and parts of the Songkla region such as Cana, Sabayoi, Thapha, and Nathawi (Worawit Baru, 1990, p. 54). While the Satun Malay dialect is used in two areas; namely the coastal area and the rural area of Satun Province. The coastal areas include Tammalang, Che Bilang and Tanjung Gabus, while the rural areas cover the Bankhuan district and some of the districts of Ban Chalung. Nowadays, Malay language is heavily influenced by Thai language. The new generation of Malay children in Thailand rarely speak in Malay resulting in the critical condition of Malay Language lately, especially in population whose majority speak in Thai 3. The Role of Malay Language in Patani Malay Language became the mother tongue (first language) and the most valuable legacy of the Malay community living in the southern Thailand. Malay plays a very important role in southern Thailand. Malay Language as a means of communication to express thoughts, feelings, emotions, needs and others. It is a communication tool in daily life and spoken extensively by all classes ranging from ordinary people, government officials, private officials and traders, either Malays or non-Malays. In the Islamic teaching, tuan guru and religious teachers used standard Malay books or scriptures and described it in Patani Malay. Western doctors and missionaries who spread Christian teaching in Thailand also used Malay as a means of communication. There were at least 400 private Islamic boarding schools in five regions of Southern Thailand (Ahmad Omar, 2002, p. 39). There were 1000 boarding schools throughout Patani in the 1960s, many of which were shut down and closed after the kingdom forced them to use Thai language in the teaching process (Uthai Dulyakasem, 1981, p. 63). Those schools belonged to the local people where they used two languages in teaching process; Patani Malay and Thai Language. They use Patani Malay language in delivering the religious subject; while there were also several schools using mixed both languages. In academic learning, they completely used Thai books and used Patani Malay in delivering the materials. The Thailand Kingdom had been aware of the importance of the position and role of Malay language for the Patani community ever since the political crisis erupted in Patani. Malay language could be used as a tool for peace in Patani, therefore many mass media started to use Malay at the time. The purpose was to convey information to Patani people and nearby people who spoke Malay. The Malay language used in the mass media in southern Thailand had various forms, for instance in the form of television media, radio media, printed media and others. There were some Malay-language programs in the media channel such as TV channels 5, TV 9 and TV 11. The information presented through the news page was about daily news, both domestic and foreign news. Radio is a local media that gives listeners the pleasure and convenience, as it can be enjoyed in just about every place. Thus, radio media has many enthusiasts, moreover, for programs related to local news and culture. Radio media has various programs such as entertainment programs, daily news, and religious talks.

  • Tau Tae Tching Or Lao-Tse (The Right Path)
    TAl CULTURE Vol. 20 Tai peoples in ChinaChina.. Part III _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Oliver Raendchen * TAI ANCIENT PHILOSOPHY: tau tae tching or lao-tse (The Right Path) Abstract In this essay, ancient Tai philosophy (way of life; perception of the world) is approached in a specific way. Following more than 20 years of his comparative and interdisciplinary study in the ancient philosophy expressed in the tau tae tching text on the one hand and the world view, way of life and practical behavior of the Tai peoples on the other hand, the author has been developing the firm belief that the ancient philosophical text tau tae tching - which is found in old written exemplars in the Chinese language and attributed to Laotse - is most probably rooted in the ancient traditions and philosophy of the Tai peoples whose forefathers settled in historical times in what is today South China. In the opinion of the author, the written philosophical text tau tae tching was created as a mirror, as a secondary image, of an existing culture, namely, the world view, way of life, and practical rules of behavior of the Tai peoples. Compared to the concrete behavioural rules, traditional laws, etc., of the Tai peoples, the tau tae tching is a philosophical condensation and abstraction. It is something like a bible of behavioural norms and was used not only for worshipping the holy “right path” of behaviour, but in fact represents a complete value system which reinforced the social order. As such, it was also the source for intellectuals to compete with other value systems (e.g., that of Confucius) which was followed by other ethnic groups, namely the Han-Chinese.

  • The Role in Politics of Malaysian of Thai Race
    The 2016 WEI International Academic Conference Proceedings Rome, Italy THE ROLE IN POLITICS OF MALAYSIAN OF THAI RACE Rawikarn Amnuay Phranakhon Rajabhat University, Bangkok, Thailand Abstract The research topic of "The Role in Politics of Malaysian of Thai Race" is a part of a research project on Comparison of Structural Pattern and the People's Involvement in Local Administration in Thailand and Malaysia. The research is aimed to study the role in politics of the Malaysian of Thai race. This research is a qualitative research based on a review of documents from both inside the country and abroad as well as interviews of important sources of information to include the President of the Thai Malaysian Association, leaders of Thai Malaysian communities, and the Malaysian people. The derived information was then analyzed using inductive method, logical analysis, and descriptive narration. The research found that Malaysian of Thai race as Malaysian and Thai citizen have very little role in politics both in national level and local administration or even civil politics. The people of Thai race are in status of voters or supporters of their favorite political parties only due to their viewpoint of politics and administration as the leader's business and not their own. They do not give precedence to grouping together to carry out political activities. Meanwhile, the discoveries of factors that affect on the Malaysian of Thai race's political roles show that these people pay more attention to religion and culture which they see related to merit and demerit. Economically, Malaysian of Thai race mostly have agricultural profession; so most of them are in the lower middle class who cannot pay more attention to politics than making a living.

  • Older Population and Health System: a Profile of Thailand
    Older Population and Health System: A profile of Thailand I. Introduction to Thailand The Kingdom of Thailand was established in the mid-14th Century, known as Siam until 1939. A revolution in 1932 led to a constitutional monarchy. It lies in the heart of Southeast Asia. The country shares a long border with Myanmar to the west and the north, Lao P.D.R. to the north and the northeast, Cambodia to the east and Malaysia to the south. Thailand is divided into four distinct geographical regions: the mountainous North, the fertile Central Plains, the semi-arid plateau of the Northeast and the peninsula South At present, there are around 62.3 million people, of which 32% live in urban areas. Although most of Thailand is agricultural, the social and economic developments have changed the economy rapidly to industrialized productions and service sectors. After enjoying the world’s highest growth rate from 1985 to 1995 – averagely almost 9% annually – increased speculative pressure on Thailand currency in 1997 led to a crisis that uncovered financial sector weakness and forced the government to float the value of the Baht. Thailand entered a economic recovery stage in 1999. Nevertheless, the economic ordeal has a significant impact on country’s labor structure, population migration, urbanization and life styles. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per Capita is $7,248 in 2002. GDP- composition by sector is 11% in agriculture sector, 40% in industry and 49% in services. Average consumer price index (CPI) in 2001 is only 1.6%. The CPI in food and non-food are 0.4% and 2.2% respectively.

  • 4. Counter-Memorial of the Royal Government of Thailand
    4. COUNTER-MEMORIAL OF THE ROYAL GOVERNMENT OF THAILAND I. The present dispute concerns the sovereignty over a portion of land on which the temple of Phra Viharn stands. ("PhraViharn", which is the Thai spelling of the name, is used throughout this pleading. "Preah Vihear" is the Cambodian spelling.) 2. According to the Application (par. I), ThaiIand has, since 1949, persisted in the occupation of a portion of Cambodian territory. This accusation is quite unjustified. As will be abundantly demon- strated in the follo~vingpages, the territory in question was Siamese before the Treaty of 1904,was Ieft to Siam by the Treaty and has continued to be considered and treated as such by Thailand without any protest on the part of France or Cambodia until 1949. 3. The Government of Cambodia alleges that its "right can be established from three points of rieivJ' (Application, par. 2). The first of these is said to be "the terms of the international conventions delimiting the frontier between Cambodia and Thailand". More particuIarly, Cambodia has stated in its Application (par. 4, p. 7) that a Treaty of 13th February, 1904 ". is fundamental for the purposes of the settlement of the present dispute". The Government of Thailand agrees that this Treaty is fundamental. It is therefore common ground between the parties that the basic issue before the Court is the appIication or interpretation of that Treaty. It defines the boundary in the area of the temple as the watershed in the Dangrek mountains. The true effect of the Treaty, as will be demonstratcd later, is to put the temple on the Thai side of the frontier.

This article is published with open access Abstract Tai-Kadai (TK) is one of the major language families in Mainland Southeast Asia (MSEA), with a concentration in the area of Thailand and Laos. Our previous study of 1234 mtDNA genome sequences supported a demic diffusion scenario in the spread of TK languages from southern China to Laos as well as northern and northeastern Thailand. Here we add an additional 560 mtDNA genomes from 22 groups, with a focus on the TK-speaking central Thai people and the Sino-Tibetan speaking Karen. We find extensive diversity, including 62 haplogroups not reported previously from this region. Demic 1234567890();,: diffusion is still a preferable scenario for central Thais, emphasizing the expansion of TK people through MSEA, although there is also some support for gene flow between central Thai and native Austroasiatic speaking Mon and Khmer. We also tested competing models concerning the genetic relationships of groups from the major MSEA languages, and found support for an ancestral relationship of TK and Austronesian-speaking groups.
